Andy Wang's Home Page

I am a Ph. D. candidate in computer science at UCLA , under professor Gerald Popek . The topic of my dissertation is Conquest, a disk/persistent-RAM hybrid file system, supported by NSF. I have also worked on the Rumor Reconciliation Simulation with professors Peter Reiher and Rajive Bagrodia , under the DARPA-funded Travler project. With some luck, I should graduate in 2002. Here is my curriculum vitae in html .

I have started a new life.

CS111 (operating systems).

Wondering how to start hacking Linux? Here are some basic materials I prepared for two previous operating systems classes: An Introduction to Linux Kernel Development (Winter/Spring 2000)
